Difference between number 1 diesel and number 2?
1D diesel fuel has lower viscosity and a lower pour point than 2D, so is preferred for cold weather. 1D diesel fuel has only about 95 percent of the energy output as 2D, causing reduced gas mileage and lower horsepower. 2D fuel is used in warmer weather, and also can be mixed with 1D for an effective winter fuel.
Can you burn diesel in a kerosene heater?
Diesel and Kerosene are extremely similar.In fact Kerosene is often called #1 Fuel Oil and Diesel is called #2 Fuel Oil.Diesel should burn fine in a kerosene heater, unless you are trying to light it in very cold weather.
Diesel engine runs cold does it use more fuel?
It can and probably will
Why a diesel tractor will not start in cold weather?
deisels fire off of heat made from compression of air and often cold weather does not allow enough heat to ignite fuel. Try a dipstick style block heater to keep the block warm. this will eliminate most of the hastle most diesel engine need about 1,000 degrees of combustion temp to start.
Does ignition coil exists in diesel engines?
No, there is no coil or Spark Plugs. Ignition takes place due to heating from compression of the fuel/air mixture. Some diesel engines have a "Glow Plug" for aid to starting in very cold weather.
Why does Diesel engine turn but won't start?
Then it is lacking in fuel, air or compression. Most commonly- fuel. If the injectors are not squirting fuel into the cylinder, it will not start. In very cold weather diesels may require an electric glow plug (part of the engine) to get started.
Why is it hard to start your 98 dodge diesel?
Hard starting on a diesel is from a lack of fuel or a lack of heat/compression. Air in the fuel lines, plugged fuel filters, and broken electric fuel pumps are the more common hard start issues. Cummins engines use a grid type air preheater. If the hard starting is ONLY in cold weather this is a good place to start.
2001 dodge 2500 cummins will not go when it is cold?
How cold is it. Most diesel engine do not responed properly when the engine and fuel is cold.
6.5 diesel smokes when i push it down and poor cold weather starting but good warm weather starting new glow plugs and no catalytic converter because it was plugged what could be wrong?
i'm not a diesel man but i think that you are spraying to much diesel. my dads duramax starting smokin when you pressed the accelerator after performance chip from bully dog was programed (boosts fuel pressure)
What type of diesel fuel should be used in the winter?
By Reading this question, the only thing I can guess you mean by asking what type of diesel fuel..... Means either standard diesel or diesel vpower (high Ron fuel)? In that case, either fuel will behave the same as it would in the summer or winter, however engines always run much better in cold weather because the air is more dense so much better combustion. An vpower will always be better because of the high Ron content.
What is biodeisel fuel?
Biodiesel fuel is fuel for diesel engines that is derived from plants or animals instead of petroleum. It can made by altering used vegetable oil or kitchen grease. When this is done, it can be used in any diesel engine without alteration and is actually better for the engine than petroleum based diesel oil, though it gets thicker than ordinary diesel oil in cold weather, and it may be necessary to deal with this. Altering the source oil produces a byproduct, which is glycerin and can be purified and used for various purposes. Another approach to biological products in a diesel engine is to filter the source product (used vegetable oil) and use it without altering it. If this is done, the diesel engine has to be prepared for it with minor alterations. The problems with cold weather also become more pronounced, and the oil often is heated before it is put into the engine.
How much of the energy in gasoline or diesel fuel is converted to work in propelling the car and how much into heat released into the atmosphere?
Gasoline engines convert about 30 percent of the fuel's energy content into mechanical work, diesel engines about 45 percent. The rest is heat rejected in the radiator cooling or in the exhaust, or to heat the car interior in cold weather.
